A ray is incident at an angle of incidence i on one surface of a prism of small angle A and emerge normally from opposite surface. If the refractive index of the material of prism is μ, the angle of incidence is nearly equal to :
μ A
A planoconvex lens is made of a material of refractive index μ = 1.5. The radius of curvature of curved surface of the lens is 20 cm. If its plane surface is silvered, the focal length of the silvered lens will be :
